I'm 18 and my best friend died a year ago. I want a tattoo dedicated to her, any ideas?

I strongly suggest that you do something more traditional to memorialize your deceased loved ones, like plant a tree, or write a memorial (in your own words, not some quote). Whatever you do, do not get a tattoo. A tattoo is an ugly thing, very offensive in many people’s eyes. Most people would not want to be ociated with a tattoo. Instead of honoring your loved one, you are actually insulting them by getting their name or memory ociated with an ugly tattoo, which is not your intention I think. . It is like you are writing their name as graffiti on the side of a public building. Tattoos are an urban blight. They are ugly, like graffiti. Like graffiti, they lower the quality of the environment. Tattoos lower the quality of life for everyone who has to look at them. It doesn’t make sense to “honor” a deceased loved one with an ugly tattoo.
